Brisbane City Council lists three weekly markets in the CBD for the coming weeks: Brisbane City Markets at Reddacliff Place on Wednesdays, the same markets at Queen Street Mall on Wednesdays, and Cathedral Square on Thursdays. All three are free to enter and need no booking.
This guide uses the council’s event pages and its events calendar search, read on 8 and 9 November 2026. Queensland has no daylight saving, so all times are Brisbane time. The council calendar only lists dates it has been given, so a date missing below does not mean a market is closed. Check the organiser before you travel.
Where and when are the three markets?
| Market | Day and hours | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Brisbane City Markets, Reddacliff Place | Wednesday, 8:00am to 6:00pm | Reddacliff Place, 266 George Street |
| Brisbane City Markets, Queen Street Mall | Wednesday, 8:00am to 6:00pm | Queen Street Mall, Queen Street |
| Brisbane City Markets, Cathedral Square | Thursday, 8:00am to 2:00pm | Cathedral Square, 410 Ann Street |
What is on at Reddacliff Place on Wednesdays?
The council calls Wednesday at Reddacliff Place “the original” of the Brisbane City Markets inner-city markets, and a favourite for city workers, local residents and tourists. It says each week brings stalls selling lunch, groceries, provisions and gifts. Reddacliff Place is at the very top of Queen Street Mall, at 266 George Street.
The council lists it every Wednesday between 11 November 2026 and 9 June 2027, including 23 and 30 December and the Wednesdays in January. The table below stops at 13 January 2027.
Is the Queen Street Mall market a separate one?
It is a separate listing with its own address, Queen Street Mall on Queen Street, and the same Wednesday hours of 8:00am to 6:00pm. The council’s wording is that you “will never be short for choice”, whether you want market eats, farm direct goods, handmade provisions or gifts. For more information the page points to the Goodwill Projects website.
The council lists the Queen Street Mall market on 11, 18 and 25 November and on 2, 9 and 16 December 2026. It lists no Queen Street Mall dates for 23 December or later, while Reddacliff Place continues, so check the organiser if you are planning a Christmas-week visit.
What is different about Cathedral Square on Thursdays?
The council says Cathedral Square is smaller, with a bigger focus on street eats, and describes it as a good place for a quick or leisurely lunch, with picnic blankets and live music. It runs on Thursdays from 8:00am to 2:00pm, which is four hours shorter than the Wednesday markets. The address is 410 Ann Street.
The council lists Cathedral Square on 12, 19 and 26 November and on 3 and 10 December 2026. No later Thursday is listed.

Is there a special markets day before Christmas?
On Wednesday 25 November, from 12 noon to 1pm, the Gathering program holds its End of Year Mini Markets at the Queen Street Mall Main Stage. The council says it is curated by Cre8tive Nations and shows handmade products, artworks and gifts from local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, makers and businesses. Entry is free, no booking is needed, and the council calls it the final Gathering event of 2026.
It falls on the same day as the Wednesday city markets, so one trip covers both.
How do I get there, and where do I check for changes?
The council pages give street addresses only, with no parking or public transport advice. Use Translink’s Journey Planner with the street address of the market you want. Translink’s event transport page covers large events, and these markets were not listed there on 8 November 2026.
Each market’s page on the council calendar links to the organiser, Goodwill Projects, and to the Brisbane City Markets website for stall news. We will update this guide if the council adds later dates.
